AOC: Biden Has Exceeded Progressives’ Expectations
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), a bellwether for the progressive wing of the Democratic Party, says President Joe Biden’s administration has exceeded her expectations.
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has announced its intent to investigate the impact of microplastics and pharmaceutical medications on the safety of the nation's tap water, marking a significant step in addressing these emerging contaminants. These substances have been added to the drinking water Contaminant Candidate List (CCL), a roster of unregulated potential threats to public water systems. While hailed by some as a 'major win' for public health initiatives, the regulatory process is projected to be extensive, potentially requiring years for any new standards to be implemented, if proposed at all.
